Each Saturday at 2:00 pm, we open four different wines and talk about them- where they come from, who makes them, and what makes them special. A couple of light hors d’oeuvres accompany the tasting and those who attend are eligible for discounts on the wines. Reservations are required, and web and email reservations will not guarantee you a seat, to please make your reservation by calling (520) 326-9363
I was asking Kevin what the theme of next Saturday's wine tasting will be (there's no tasting on New Year's Eve, as we imagine many of you have bigger fish to fry that day, and we know we'll be getting ready for our own big night) and he told me it would be "Life is a Cabernet."
At the end of the proverbial day, we're Tucsonans. So I get that it's 78 degrees outside, but since our experience of winter is limited, once the mercury dips below 80°, we're inclined to reach for bigger, redder wines.
I don't know why it's so difficult for us to convince our guests that sparkling wine, while it's great for a special occasion, is also good for all seasons. We at Feast love it year round.
If there's a varietal that the staff agrees on here, it's got to be Grenache. Good with food, good by its lonesome- some are light enough for lighter dishes, but some are gutsy enough for double cream cheeses and red meat.
If you're at your saturation point with family and a little bit of tippling is in order to grease the wheels of diplomacy, it may not hurt to show up for our wine tasting this Saturday. This week Kevin's got four bottles open that don't necessarily have anything in common stylistically, but there's one key common point: they're all on sale.
This week, Kevin will be opening up four wines suitable for your Thanksgiving needs. A couple of them are crowd pleasers, wines with a nice broad audience that are sure to appeal to the entire extended family, and/or all your Thanksgiving friends.
Dear Feastlings, Once they’ve made it through crush, winemakers can take a little breather. In November, there’s weeding and vine-trimming, but the winemaker can get out and head for warmer climes for a little handshaking and baby-kissing, and as luck would have it, Todd Graff, who’s been making wine for Frank Family Vineyards since day […]
Hi, Feastlings. When you mention Spain and wine, people seem to default to Rioja, and Rioja, without a doubt, has earned no small amount of street cred in the wine world. That said, what better educational experience than to taste a Rioja alongside wines that hail from some of the dozens of other appellations in […]
Hello, Feastlings. I’m not sure how many years in a row Kevin has worn the Jack-o-lantern-styled Halloween hat he got at the dollar store, but if I were pressed to make an educated guess, I’d figure he’s down to about 12 or 13¢ a wearing by now, if only because of the tenacity he’s demonstrated […]
Dear Feastlings, This week, Kevin opens up four wines suitable for the harvest season, and more importantly, discusses how these wines are made as much by viticulture as by the winemaking process. These wines are truly made in the vineyard, and you’ll discover how and why, and how it makes a difference in the glass. […]
